Core Insights - The first shield tunneling/TBM big data mining community in China was established in Zhengzhou, aiming to address industry challenges such as data silos and inconsistent standards [1][3]. Group 1: Community Formation and Objectives - The community is guided by China Railway and hosted by China Railway Tunnel Group, with over 400 representatives from government, academia, research institutions, and industry associations in attendance [3]. - The core philosophy of the community is "data intelligence sharing, tunneling innovation for the future," focusing on unifying data centers and standard systems, developing core algorithms, and enhancing collaboration between industry, academia, and research [3]. Group 2: Industry Context and Technological Integration - China currently has over 10,000 kilometers of tunnels under construction and a total of 1,300 shield/TBM machines in operation [3]. - The community will leverage national key laboratories to create a public data mining platform, promoting the integration of data, innovation, and industry to support the construction of a strong transportation network and digital China [3]. Group 3: Technological Developments - The launch event also introduced the first vertical large model in the tunnel and underground space sector, named "Pioneer Tunnel Large Model," which is based on 773 engineering lines and 120 billion construction data points [4]. - The "Tunnel AI Assistant" developed as part of this model features six functions, including professional Q&A and scheme assistance, and has been validated in major projects such as the plateau railway tunnel and the Chongqing-Taiwan Yangtze River Tunnel [4].
